Questions
oses
Education
These questions were:
1. Do you feel that there is a
great deal of knowledge you
don't know?
2. Do you know where you're
going?
3. Do you know what you be
lieve in?
Dr. Forster spoke on "Has Penn
State Been Worth Some of the
Best Years of Our Lives?" He
was the second lecturer in the
Last Lecture Series sponsored by
.Mortar Board, senior women's
hat society.
Remember Best Years
He said there is no question
that students will look back on
the years of college life as some
the best years of their lives.
Dr. Ft:oyster's lecture will be
broadcast by student radio sta
tion WDFM at 7:30 p.m. Sun
day.
This is because they are free
from physical troubles, are en
thusiastic, hopeful and optimistic,
and are liberal in the sense that
they are flexible and adaptable
to change, he said.
Speaking for himself Dr. For
ster said that the student will
still experience some of the best
years of his life after graduation
if he adds mellowness to these
other qualities.
Composure Stressed
Upon graduation the student
should feel that he can take his
position in life with composure
and be more tolerant and less
critical of his fellow man, he
said.
He said it is also important
while at college to discard values
and acquire more appreciation of
aesthetic elements.
"And," he added, "it is impor
tant to acquire these new beliefs
because you have thought about
them."
He emphasized • the fact that
new values need not be acquired
as long as old ideals are thought
through so they are no longer
just a carry-over from childhood.
"If the student answers in the
affirmative to these questions
then he has been pushed toward
maturity." he said.
He defined this knowledge as
vertical education.
Horizontal education, the ac
quirement of social and voca
tional skills, can be obtained out
side the University campus, but
it is "the University's biggest job"
to give the student vertical edu
cation," he concluded.

NSA Regional
Will Be Held
At University
The National Student Associa
tion Spring Regional conference
will be held at the University
April 27, 28, and 29, James Mus
ser, NSA Coordinator, announced
at the first meeting of the NSA
Executive Committee Wednesday
night.
The committee decided to sug
gest NSA and its relationship to
the campus as its first choice for
the conference discussion topic.
Sub-topics under this general
topic include the use of Student
Government Information Service,
the relation of the campus to re
gional, national, and international
NSA actions, and organization of
NSA on campus.
Members of the committee ex
pressed the view that this topic
would most benefit the Univer
sity at present as it is just re
newing a NSA program.
Musser announced that the All-
University Cabinet report on
Leadership Training as well as
other information on the Univer
sity's program will be sent in to
NSA. He said that he will re
ceive information of a similar
nature from all other uchools that
have carried out the program.
Musser said this material will
be sent to a new Leadership
Training Committee so that they
may make use of it in planning
next year's program.
Musser told committee mem
bers that James Pomeroy, NSA
regional director, will be invited
to visit the University March 11
to work on plans for the regional
conference.
